Thank you Net Galley for giving me an arc to review. ❤️

Under Oak Tree is a fantasy romance that was originally a webcomic now turned novel. It follows Maximillian( Maxi) the daughter of a cruel duke who has been hidden and abused most of her life. She was married off to a knight(Riftan) and he has come back for her 3 year later. We’re following Maxi navigate her new life and relationship with Riftan. 

As a previous fan of the Manta Comics, I can say that this novel did the comics justice. I will forever being rooting for Maxi and her healing journey. If you’re looking for a book that’s an easy read. I think you’ll like this.

I will say that the ending was a like off and I hope that changes with the final copy

I didn't like the main character. She was just complaining and acting out and nonsensical

This had such a slow start but when it picked up…..it picked up. The banter the angst. Greek Gods being Greek Gods. This Hades depiction was so sweet and tender and I loved him so much. Persephone will always be that girl to me. I took a star off because I hate miscommunication between characters
